My name is Serena Viatrix, and embracing minimalism changed my life

I used to be overwhelmed by clutter. I surrounded myself with things I thought I needed, things I thought would bring me happiness. But the truth was, I couldn’t even appreciate any of it because there was just too much.

Everything felt chaotic. I had a career that drained me, a home that didn’t align with who I was, and I was struggling to find meaningful connections with others. I was living in a space — both physical and mental — that no longer served me.

How I turned things around

I reached my breaking point, and that’s when I decided to make a radical change. I decluttered my space, let go of the things that weighed me down, and focused on what truly mattered. I downsized my possessions by 90%, moved into a smaller, more intentional living space, and re-evaluated my career and relationships.

It wasn’t easy. In fact, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. But with everything feeling out of control, I knew something had to give. The decision to simplify wasn’t just about stuff — it was about reclaiming my life, my time, and my peace of mind.

Now I live with intention

Today, I live a life that’s simpler, calmer, and more purposeful. I’ve found freedom in minimalism: I’m less stressed, more focused, and more connected to the things that truly matter. My work is now aligned with my values, I’m more present with the people in my life, and I finally have the time and mental space to enjoy life.

Living simply has brought me the clarity I was searching for, and it’s been a complete game-changer. That’s why I started this site — to share my journey and show others how embracing minimalism can help transform their lives too. The simple life has made all the difference for me, and I believe it can for you as well!
